What is the difference between PA and NY's gasoline additives?In my '98 Escort SW,Gas bought in PA -> 35.0mpg, $3.029/galGas bought in NY -> 28.5mpg, $3.259/galIn PA, $0.0865/mileIn NY, $0.1144/mileIs PA still using MTBE? (NY has ethanol).Using NY gas, I have not broken the 30mpg mark on this vehicle sincelast winter. When I go west for something, I consistently get >30mpg on"foreign" gas, and it's cheaper too.

Interesting. If I ever go upstate I will pick up an extra twenty gallons or so (in the aux tank of my Scout, maybe) and give it the taste test.

No, read what I said about this NOT being the highway mileage on the long haul, but rather the mileage I get in my regular driving mix.

I'm certain he is... same route though - house to farm - wind vs. no wind comparison.

Sure do.

Never said I did. Again, same route, tree vs. no tree. Fuel computer on the Eddie Bauer Aerostar confirmed addl. fuel usage.
